Make Home Mixology Simple with DIY Cocktail Infusion Kits

DIY cocktail infusion kits blend dried fruit, herbs, and natural sugar so you can create handcrafted cocktails with almost no effort. You add your spirit. You wait. You pour. The result tastes clean, balanced, and full of flavor–without syrups, artificial colors, or complicated steps.

This blog explains how our cocktail infusion kits work, why they’ve become so popular, and how each of our six Maui-inspired flavors transforms your home bar.

What are DIY cocktail infusion kits?

Our cocktail kits are pre-measured blends you soak in alcohol to create your own flavored spirit. They use simple ingredients. They infuse fast. And they give your drink a handcrafted feel.

You control the spirit, sweetness, and strength. That flexibility makes each kit easy for beginners and fun for seasoned home bartenders.

All you need is:

  • A spirit like vodka, rum, gin, tequila, or bourbon

  • A jar or bottle

  • Ice or mixers

The rest happens inside the infusion itself.

How do cocktail infusion kits work?

The process stays clear and easy:

  1. Open the infusion package.

  2. Add 12–16 ounces of your chosen spirit.

  3. Seal and chill for 1–3 days.

  4. Shake once or twice.

  5. Strain and serve.

The dried fruit and herbs hydrate slowly. They release flavor at a steady rate. The spirit extracts color and aroma without harshness. After a day or two, you have a flavored base that tastes bright and clean.

DIY cocktail infusion kits work because they simplify flavor-making. The hard part–blending and balancing ingredients–is already done for you.
